Abstract
Nearly 300,000 Iowans rely on private wells for their primary drinking water supply. Because
private water wells fall outside the jurisdiction of the Safe Drinking Water Act, there are no federal regulations for the quality and routine testing of private well water. Instead, the EPA states that it is the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure the safety of their water.
